Welcome to J Shinn Creative.

Over the last 10 years I have developed my skills as a graphics artist. With a history of both illustrative and graphic design experience I have developed a portfolio that demonstrates my capabilities as a modern and up to date designer. My works cover a broad spectrum of pieces from logo design to fine art. The site has a range of images showing the construction of the design work to the final completion.

All my artwork is digitally produced, this means that I develop the initial concept from sketch and then scan this image into my computer. There I develop my art brushes using Adobe Photoshop and start to create the image. I often work on many layers on a design piece and my main tool is a graphics tablet. In effect it is just like painting but using digital technology to do so. Many hours of work go into making the final piece. It is then formatted and printed from the digital form.

Digital art is recognised as a new medium, it is widely used in games, CGI for film and well-known artists are now using it as a medium e.g. David Hockney.

Hello all, apologies for not posting any additional material. I am currently building a new website with additional features.
